: People often disregard the "dirt" about candidates. Time we start to pay attention. If an individaul is not respectable in his professional and private life we need to pay more attention too. How can we trust them as an elected official. We need to bring honor back to elected officals. There is always a better candidate around the corner.
Where do you get this "dirt" from Alice, other gossipers- what if it is just that gossip? Then you lose a good candidate because of some gossipers and not a bit of truth. Do you think a candidate is going to come out and say - I do drugs, I just had an affair- hardly. If there are only a couple candidates on the ballot, that is who you get to vote for, not from around the corner.
People are stupid anyhow, thta is why we get bad people in office.
